Filip Verboven wins Unibet Open Prague

Monday, 20 February 2012

After Christian Vanzieleghem's success at the European Deepstack Poker Championship last week comes news of another Belgian success, this time at the opening leg of the 2012 Unibet Open series in Prague.

The Belgian in question this time is Filip Verboven who outlasted a 254-runner field in Prague over the weekend. Verboven pocketed €100,000 after beating Ruggerio Scommegna after a gruelling heads up battle. The Italian took home €56,000 for his efforts.

A word too for our own Alex 'Pickleman' Rousso who enjoyed a deep run, eventually busting out in thirteenth for a score of €3,000.

Tuesday is the deadline for all working Americans to have submitted their income tax returns to the federal government and Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker are set to mark this annual occasion by holding a special freeroll competition featuring a $1,000 top prize.

“We run a lot of higher stakes tournaments for our more hard-core players,” said Intertops’ poker manager. “But since our network is generally pretty soft, we created this series to give less competitive players a shot at winning.”
